In a recent TEDtalk, Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington stepped out from the political blogosphere to spread an idea that liberals and conservatives alike can use.

Her big idea is in her words "a very very small idea that will unlock billions of dormant big ideas." That big idea is sleep:

Most of the talk took an unusually jokey tone for TED, but there's some merit to Huffington's message. Sleep is one of the best ways to give your brain a boost.

Get 7-8 hours per night and you'll be more interesting, more attractive and make better decisions. Sleep deprivation is not a badge of honor. You'll never know what you are truly capable of unless you are caught up on sleep.
